We often have more power than we think as individuals. As an example, a private company slipped in an application for a large gas power station on unused land on the edge of the village. The village council "quietly" nodded it through. It was about a month before most of us found out. Locals were up in arms and very many letters were sent to the district planners. We also found out that some of the data used in support of the application were wrong.
Since the protest, the applicant has reportedly withdrawn the application. The applicant was out to make a quick buck (allegedly) but this was thwarted by people power.
Power to the people!
You have certainly got to be on the ball with them, but you can bet they will try again!
ReplyDeleteIt's like rights of way, they have a habit of closing them, or the farmer ploughing them up, thinking you won't notice.
It's all about greed and money!
Please don't get me going!
